Benedict xvi, European culture, searching for God, monasticism, evangelizationAbstract
Benedict XVI, searching for sources of European culture, points to a monastic life built on admiration of the Word of God. At the core of this delight lies the desire to seek God. The Word of God shaped an individual relationship with God, invited to dialogue and thus built the need for community life. The result of seeking God is the whole product of the action of the human intellect, and thus a broadly understood culture that draws from Christian patterns from the very beginning. Benedict XVI points to the need for evangelization, which is to revive the desire to seek God through a culture, which suffers from a crisis of detachment from religious values in modern world. Benedict's speech at the Bernardine’s College is therefore a hopeful call for a return to the source, which is the Word of God, which shapes the human intellect in the image and likeness of the Creator.
